How to be compensated by Transavia Holland on the Amsterdam (AMS) - Kithira (KIT) line

From Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport, your departure with Transavia Holland to Kithira didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 286 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
  • Arrival airport: Kithira Airport (KIT)
  • Flight distance: 2 286 km (~2h51)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Transavia Holland Amsterdam - Kithira is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Kithira Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Transavia Holland owes you 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Transavia Holland sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Transavia Holland to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Kithira.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Amsterdam airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Transavia Holland (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Amsterdam, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Transavia Holland compensation

A work stoppage of Transavia Holland crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Amsterdam, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Transavia Holland.

What are your rights at Amsterdam airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport, Transavia Holland is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol terminal is also included in the legal package due by Transavia Holland.
